Danas 1aih GERALD.
Friday, Sept. 30, 1887.

The proposition OF some OF the ALI
ance executive board to establish a
furniture factory and n wagon
factory in the city of Dallas, is most
excellent one, and naturally follows
the location here of Two large cotton
and wooden mills. Factories attrPct
factories; and it need not be surpris-
ing if the factorie, above named are
not built in Dallas before the middle
of 1888. Fiveto six million dollars go
out of Texas to northern
States every year for furniture
and nearly half as much more for
wagons which could just as easy be
made here. The first argument
against tn G practicabiliiy Of tie thing
is that Texas has not the timber.
Neither has Cincinnati. st. Louis and
other manufacturing centres the tim
Der in their midst. 1t is hauled long
distances, as far, perhaps, as u would
have to be hauled TO Texas. Then
the working wages and freights on
manufactured goods you'd he saw
ed to consumers in Texas,
and millions added each year
TO our own wealth and
the development OF our own states
resources.

A PLUCKY BRAKE MAN
train Robbery at
Odessa.
Prevents

A ig Springs correspondent of the
Fort Worth Gazette makes this re-
port a failed attempt to rob an ex-
press train in Midland county.
The trail slowed up at 4 o'clock
this morning nj the water tank one
mi,e west of Odessa Station. The
brakeman, Charley jackson, common
ly known on the road a. Ell Paso Jack,
was standing on the rear end of
last coach, which was
the sleeper. Just as the
train stopped at the tank two masked
men, one from either side, attempted
TO mount the steps OF tne Goa II. 1t
was hard 10 recognize man four feet
distant. and the robbers evidently did
not see the brakeman until they were
eli the steps of the train. They al
once called Oh Jackson to hold up.
one of them at the same time covering
him with his revolver. Jackson's
reply was, "lIold up, YOURSELF" and
he had his gun out and fired
before the robbers had time to think.
His first shot passed through the
hat OF one of the robbers just ABOVE
the rim, and must have made scalp
wound. The robbers ON seeing that
Jackson was an expert and meant bus
iness, moved back a few feet and fired
three volleys in the darkness. jack
son fired four shot. Only one ball
entered the coach 1t passed through
the glass in the door near the top, and
lodged in the partition of the dressing
room of the sleeper. The robbers,
seeing that their fire was returned,
decamped, leaving in their haste a
light hat perforated by Jackson'' first
bullet and mask.

stated that two lcpers had been snug

was dangerously contagious. He re-
quesied tho board to search for them,
and have them removed to I'm isolated
place. After some discussion it was
decided to place them in the Municipal
hospital, on The old Lamb tavern road.

The Horses Feet.

A correspondent of 1he Country
Gentleman has some timely remarks on
the above subject.
Few farmers give that attention to
their horses feet that they should give.
Most men rub and curry well enough,
perhaps, and many take great pride
and plenty of tme in smoothing the
horse hide; but seldom is it that they
think Of that most indispensable part.
the horses feet, and stop TO give them
that little attention and inspection that
is almost daily necessary.
The feet Of the horse require as much
attention as the body. and some horses
feet much more. Without sound feet
the horse is not of much service for la
Dor. A horses feet may become un-
sound by having to stand in filthy
stable. The floor and bedding Of the
\siable should always be dry. and the
manure that is caked under foot every
morning should DO carefully removed
by the groom. As often as necessary
the hoof should be pared, and the frog
examined as to soundness and hardness.
A little alum water and brine should be
kept at hand. and the frog of the foot
moppcd with il once week 10 keep
the frog sound and hard. A soft frog
causes the animal to get famed east
Iy. and so he can not travel or work
we'll.
Sometimes stones and other hard
substances get fastened in the foot, and
il not removed cause lamencss. Cop
peres thrown over the manure Of the
stable TO destroy smell will tend TO
keep the hoof sound. II is well to
sprinkle IL over. the stable frequently.
il for no other purpose than to cure
/ the unpleasant smell that ofton attach
les to the feet of the horse. Plaster
will have tho same effect. and is very
useful to prevent the loss of ammonia
from the manure.

to the entertainment of ventriloquist

observer of the performers modus

last week to his fathers native town,

their rural sojourn was the country
cemetery, where sleep the progenitors
of his paternal parent. The latter
pointed out to the child certain
mound, saying: There, dear, is the
grave of your grandfather. The
little fellow gazed curiously at the
place of sculpture for moment, and
then, seized by sudden idea, stopped
down, and, rapping on the tombstone,
